Many new questions on the regulation of shoot branching have been raised in recent years,
prompting a review and reassessment of the role of each signal involved. Sugars and their …

Shoot branching is a key process for plant growth and fitness. Newly produced axes result
from axillary bud outgrowth, which is at least partly mediated through the regulation of …

Abstract miR156 is a conserved microRNA whose role and induction mechanisms under
stress are poorly known. Strigolactones are phytohormones needed in shoots for drought …

Rice tillering is an important agronomic trait affecting grain yield. Here, we identified a high-
tillering mutant tillering20 (t20), which could be restored to the wild type by treatment with the …

As a multigenic trait, rice tillering can optimize plant architecture for the maximum agronomic
yield. SQUAMOSA PROMOTER BINDING PROTEIN‐LIKE14 (OsSPL14) has been …

Auxin alone or supplemented with cytokinins and strigolactones were long considered as
the main player (s) in the control of apical dominance (AD) and correlative inhibition of the …

Transcription factors, also known as trans-acting factors, balance development and stress
responses in plants. Branching plays an important role in plant morphogenesis and is …

Branch number is an important agronomic trait in peach (Prunus persica) trees because
plant architecture affects fruit yield and quality. Although breeders can select varieties with …

Ma bamboo (Dendrocalamus latiflorus Munro) is the most widely cultivated clumping
bamboo in Southern China and is valuable for both consumption and wood production. The …

Main conclusion The function of SQUAMOSA PROMOTER-BINDING PROTEIN-BOX gene
TaSPL14 in wheat is similar to that of OsSPL14 in rice in regulating plant height, panicle …
